.bashrc

[Sven Brueggemann]

When I say PS1='$PWD>' at the bash prompt, everything works as expected.  
Using the same command in .bashrc alters the prompt but does not move the  
cursor to the first character after the prompt. Instead, bash places the  
cursor in column 1.

Any ideas?

Sounds like you have \r's in your .bashrc, try removing them
if that's the case.

Excellent point. The default .bash_profile takes care of that.

Thank you Andy! Problem was the missing .bash_profile file.

Bash on Cygwin is normally invoked as a login shell, in which case it
doesn't source .bashrc. Instead, it sources .bash_profile or .profile,
so unless you explicitly source .bashrc from there, it won't be
processed.

I did a bit of googling but could not work out how I can find out if a  
file is sourced. I also tried to search for "set option xtrace" without  
luck. Could you elaborate a bit more for a biologist?

Have a look at /etc/passwd how HOME is set. Check if that file is 
sourced. Then you could set option xtrace to see what is being done.

Thanks for the quick reply.

So I've changed my home directory to /home/d.tang in my passwd file. I  
copied the .bashrc into my new home directory.

But when I restart cygwin, it still doesn't load the .bashrc. Did I do  
something wrong?

Doesn't really matter. The important thing is your home directory. Set

Ah sorry for the confusion, I had modified my PS1 settings (which I could  
set after manually sourcing .bashrc) so I just put a % for my prompt in  
the email.

If I start cygwin normally my prompt looks like this:

d.tang@imb09-02635 ~
$

Also

d.tang@imb09-02635 ~
$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

d.tang@imb09-02635 ~
$ echo $0

	Are you sure you have your /etc/passwd entry setup
correctly?  I.e. when you type 'whoami' at the bash prompt,
it gives your username -- and you have an entry in /etc/passwd
setup that lists your home directory?

In that dir you have .bashrc?

.bashrc

[Dave Tang]

Hello,

I have cygwin installed on Windows XP and for some reason my .bashrc file  
isn't loaded on startup. I read the FAQ "Why doesn't bash read my .bashrc  
file on startup?" but my HOME environment variable is set up i.e. when I  
echo $HOME it is correct. I actually copied my .bashrc to the root  
directory and it still doesn't load.

Could someone explain how I can set up my .bashrc?

Many thanks,

Dave

P.S. Here's the FAQ from  
http://cygwin.com/1.7/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bashrc

7. Why doesn't bash read my .bashrc file on startup?
	
Your .bashrc is read from your home directory specified by the HOME  
environment variable. It uses /.bashrc if HOME is not set. So you need to  
set HOME (and the home dir in your /etc/passwd entry) correctly.

The latest default /etc/profile should have copied these files into your
$HOME if it didn't exist before.  Rename your home directory (e.g., to
/home/myuser-bak) and start a login bash (e.g., by double-clicking on the
Cygwin icon).  Then copy everything from /home/myuser to /home/myuser-bak;
remove /home/myuser, and rename /home/myuser-bak back to /home/myuser.
Provided you have the latest /etc/profile, this should work.  If not, and
you don't have any customizations in your /etc/profile, remove it,
re-install the "base-files" package, and then repeat the above steps.

Hi!

I installed the cygwin again, and read the SGT settings.
It wrote, i should edit my .bashrc, but there is no .bashrc after install in /home/myuser

How can i tell to cygwin to create 1 ?

Re: .bashrc

[The Tolands]

Your problem is with the following two lines:

export PATH=
opt/Mix_nt; /usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6.4/bin$PATH

This should read:

export PATH=/opt/Mix_nt:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6.4/bin:$PATH

Note that it is one line and uses colons to seperate each element of the
path.  I really strongly recommend that you get a good book on BASH.
_Learning the bash Shell_ from O'Reilly is pretty good.

There shouldn't be anything special in it. This is mine:

export PS1="\h:\w\\$ "
alias ls="ls --color=tty -p"
cd

This is the batch file I use for starting bash:
@ECHO OFF
SET MAKE_MODE=UNIX
SET PATH=d:\cygnus\CYGWIN~1\H-I586~1\bin;%PATH%;/usr/local/bin
SET HOME=/home/erikh
set TERM=ansi
bash

erikh is my NT login name.

Re: .bashrc

[The Tolands]

Your problem is with the following two lines:

export PATH=
opt/Mix_nt; /usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6.4/bin$PATH

This should read:

export PATH=/opt/Mix_nt:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6.4/bin:$PATH

Note that it is one line and uses colons to seperate each element of the
path.  I really strongly recommend that you get a good book on BASH.
_Learning the bash Shell_ from O'Reilly is pretty good.

RE: .bashrc

[Christian Mallwitz]

Hi,

I had problems because my .inputrc contained '\r\n' (0x0d 0x0a) as line
separator. So make sure that you use '\n' (0x0A) as separator only ...

cheers
Christian

There shouldn't be anything special in it. This is mine:

export PS1="\h:\w\\$ "
alias ls="ls --color=tty -p"

@ECHO OFF
SET MAKE_MODE=UNIX
